Once in a while you luck out and have a receptive and interactive audience when your speaking in public. Today was my lucky day as I was the guest speaker for "60 Minutes With An Artist", in Valencia. The Santa Clarita Artists Association sponsored the event and I had my fingers crossed for at least a few warm bodies in the seats. We had a full house and they were awesome. The time flew as they asked perfect questions to spur me on. To calm down from the fun after arriving back home, I painted a little piece of the Pico Trail.

This morning a small band of Santa Clarita Valley Artist Association painters met in Pico Canyon Park to paint together. The cliffs in their coats of dry brush lit up in the morning light caught my attention and that is the subject of "Pico Canyon Cliffs".
